The landscaped view created in 1972 upon exiting the now gone traffic-calming chicane to enter the former social housing estate, much of which is now in private ownership. The road layout was remodelled and junction priorities changed in 2012. The chicane served a practical purpose as deterrent to heavy goods vehicles which would struggle with the winding downhill passage further into the estate.
